Ants can survive for a while without a queen, but most colonies won’t last long without her. The queen’s main job is to lay eggs and ensure the colony keeps growing. Without a queen, no new ants are born, and over time, the workers will grow old and die, leading to the end of the colony.
However, some species have special worker ants that can lay eggs, allowing the colony to survive even without a queen. These ants are rare, but they show how adaptable nature can be!
So, in general, ants need their queen to keep the colony strong and thriving, but a few species can manage without her for a while.
